Here are the contexts of the quotes tweeted from @sueannbowling between January 10 and January 16.

“I pay no blood. I deal not in death, but in life.” “Sword of Lost Battles” by Andre Norton, in Trey of Swords. Crytha’s words to Ninutra as she refuses the order to kill Tsali.

“ Pride does not put food in the mouth, covering on the back, keep breath within one’s body.” Zarsthor’s Bane, Andre Norton. Brixia was once Lady of a Keep, but is now a homeless wanderer with only a cat to speak to. But she has another kind of pride, one not based on her outward appearance.

“We share life truly—this lesson have I learned.” Zarsthor’s Bane, Andre Norton. Brixia is speaking to the tree which has sheltered and fed her.
